WANT A RIDE IN THIS???
If you don't think military pilots earn their pay ... you need to take a look at this picture ... and then look again and realize what you're seeing This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the *** end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear??? If this does not impress you ... nothing ever will. Gives me the chills and a serious case of the vertigo . I can't even imagine having the nerve ... much less the talent and ability . |

girls like boys with skills... bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills, sitting the ar5e of a helicopter down on a rooftop so you can load wounded soldiers in skills...

I bet he was holding the weight of the tail end of the chopper as well. I doubt that building would be strong enough to hold it. It must be good for the guys on the ground to know that there are people out there with these skills if they should be injured.

It’s the pilots job, thus I’m sure he has been trained to perform maneuvers like that numerous times. Impressive none the less...
